Yes I expected 2-2 at best it's the NFL we are still in the mix and have hope. It's just really hard to watch elite weekly and still keep hope and wonder how it will ever happen with this ownership and coach.. It's so sad to see such a collapse in 8-10 years at best.

I moved here a year or 2 before Andy was hired and Kansas City was hopeless until Andy immediately got a true bridge quarterback and moved up in the draft to get his quarterback unlike Seattle which seems to love a 72 year old with way too much power that game has passed by and have people thinking Geno is a starting quarterback rather then nothing more then a grossly overpaid bridge quarterback or Drew Locke is ever more then a barely adequate backup quarterback. Let's not even get into the mess at safety coaches and GMs are typically immediately fired for such stupidity.

My point is change happens fast if the ownership decides to do so

beyond the Hawks wins/losses this season or otherwise, there is still a pending opportunity for new and more aggressive ownership if the team sells. Getting rid of Jody for Jeff Bezos has the potential to be franchise changing imo. Having Geno is the perfect bridge qb that can keep the team in the playoffs until that new ownership brings in a new everything. And if the drafts keep
coming in like the last few, perhaps Schneider even stays on. Pete needs to retire, Hawks need an Offensive minded coach.
Niners are great, but they could end up being Jim Kelly Buffalo Bills great as well and not win diddly shit.
this sport is crazy like that, it’s a giant history of talent and circumstance mixed with randomness and sprinkled with injuries and littles tips and wobbles and flags all because of the short sample size nature of each and every game.
buck up, it’s the nfl, literally anything can happen.

I don't know much about Bezos. Does he even follow football? Just curious.

He does and has been wanting to buy the Hawks since Paul’s passing and would be a great owner.

How do we know he “would be a great owner “? The same things were said about Ken Behring. Be careful of what you wish for.

 

[SNDavidson]

Number one for me, if it were one of our country’s prestigious dick-rocket billionaires, he’s the best because he has no reason and would not want to ever move the team.

 

[JPatera76]

And tbh, I may not be a fan of his, but bezos seems like a Dan Campbell-esque aggressive/competitive type person.

From the NY Giants website (just now)
Note, Andrew Thomas is their starting Left Tackle.

Lol, what....????????

Geno's cap hit is like ten million for 2023. I would hazard a guess that's (maybe) top 15 money. Matt Flynn was getting paid just as much, maybe more, haha.

This isn't the 90's where you can pay a starting QB a pittance, even mediocre dudes are getting paid. Half the league has scrub QBs making as much (in some cases more) as Geno.

Not sure how Geno is "overpaid".

It's funny how people can say that as a fact. Who the hell knows what kind of owner Bezos would be. Being able to amass a fortune doesn't make you good at everything. It usually means you were the first to exploit a niche.

No one knows whether Pete retiring will be good or bad for the franchise. No one knows whether Bezos would be a good owner. Absolutely no one. And if you were playing the odds, they are heavily stacked against a good outcome. 32 teams. Only a handful of marquee winning franchises.

Thank goodness Taylor swift isn't dating someone on the Giants.

No kidding. I’m all for it, but the officiating was (is) blatantly biased and it really hurts the perceived integrity of the game. We shall see eh?

 

[OneLofaTatupu]

That's why I think we win MNF matters to the Seahawks from the beginning we are money on MNF.

We need to come out strong. Especially the D

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Nice to see their LT is out. Shoot, we're already missing our RT, and our LT MIGHT play. And no Tre Brown or Burns.

 

[SNDavidson]

Not many men or women are going to live up to the multi billion dollar passionate pnw philanthropist that was Paul. I didn’t know him, but what I do hear seems unique. Namely, he had a historically gifted giant brain, and apparently a small ego. That’s tough to find now.

 

[pittpnthrs]

I'm safe to think we win by 4 or 6.

That sounds about right.

Eat dirt. I don't want Bozos anywhere near my team. No, that's not a typo.

100% agree.

 

[sutz]

Did Cross even fly out with the team? Last report I saw didn't sound overly optimistic of him being available.

 

[QWERTY]

Expect a L for this game.

The spread is getting higher.

 

[SoulfishHawk]

No thanks. I expect a win. In a close battle.
